Ten years of film queen, finally became a top star

Chapter 334 Dayu State Banquet

The palace banquet scene was the most difficult scene to shoot in the film and television studio, especially the dance part.

The combination of dance and martial arts places very strict demands on the actors and on-site scheduling.

The first pass had a large panoramic section, and many shooting tracks could not be arranged.

In the morning, Yu Jiang recorded the "surrender song" that he would sing during the dance performance, so that he could just play the audio and focus on the movements during the performance.

The sound of silk strings moved gracefully, and beautiful women danced and sang softly. Emperor Xiaowen was surrounded by beauties. The princes and princesses sat at the banquet with their hands hanging down, and no one dared to make any unnecessary movements or expressions.

During the banquet, the ministers of Dayu tried their best to focus their attention on the Moqiang generals sitting opposite them, and avoid the ridiculous behavior of their own emperor.

Although he was surrounded by beauties on both sides, Emperor Xiaowen's sharp eagle-like eyes never left the Qiang King of the enemy country.

As the king of a defeated country, the old Qiang King suppressed the humiliation in his heart, but had to pretend to be indifferent on the surface to fight for some dignity for his country.

In the eyes of Emperor Xiaowen, if the Moqiang people were not completely eliminated, they would make a comeback sooner or later.

Unfortunately, the treasury of Dayu is empty, otherwise the King of Qiang would have no chance to survive here with his son.

The most noble prince of Moqiang once knew that he was a victim, an object of exchange by his father.

He knelt on the seat behind his father, his face pale as he maintained proper etiquette, and lowered his head slightly to hide the grief in his eyes.

The music gradually faded, the dancers left the stage, and the most beautiful princess in Dayu, wearing armor, danced to the beat of wartime drums and walked up to the hall.

When the Moqiang generals heard the sound of Dayu's war drums, their first reaction was fear. In the years of battles between Yu and Mo, they were suppressed by Dayu. The sound of Dayu's war drums was the death warrant for the Moqiang soldiers.

Only when they realized that it was the singing and dancing in the hall did the generals relax and use various small movements to cover up their previous gaffe.

When I looked up again, fear, panic, embarrassment, all the emotions were replaced by amazement.

Exquisite armor, flowing silk cape, and the charming and beautiful princess's hair is also soft and attractive.

Her graceful dance moves exude a fierce murderous aura as the war drums sound. The combat boots on her feet and the armor on her body do not hinder the beauty of her dance moves at all.

Watching his most proud child dancing in the hall to shock the enemy, Emperor Xiaowen was pleased with her courage and was glad that she was a girl.

This is the type of child he likes the most. She is obedient and pleasing in daily life, can show her Dayu demeanor to others, and is a princess who will not covet the throne.

Unlike his other princes and princesses, who were like quails, sitting in a row and not daring to even raise their heads.

The quails in Emperor Xiaowen's eyes looked at Shen Guiwu with admiration and gratitude. They were grateful that she was the first to come forward.

Since Emperor Xiaowen came to power by killing his father, he was very wary of, or even hostile to, his children, especially the princes.

When he ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to secretly execute all the grandchildren who had been praised by the previous emperor, including his legitimate son.

The princes of the Xiaowen period were easily disliked by their fathers because of their excellence, which is why they all became quails.

Among these quails, only Shen Zhaozheng had tears in his eyes when he stole a glance at his sister. Only he knew what his sister wanted to do and how dangerous it would be to do so.

The sound of drums gradually faded and singing began. Shen Guiwu's voice was as gentle as the song of an oriole and as ethereal as the sound of Sanskrit. However, every word of the lyrics pierced the Qiang king's heart.

"The drums of war are beating, Dayu's elite troops. The city of Motu is in ruins, and we are marching westward. We have broken your fortresses and pacified your people. It is hard to return without victory, and the Qiang capital is worried. The people have lost their homes, and where is the Qiang king? Poor Qiang king, and the Qiang people are pitiful. My emperor feels sorry for him, and Motu returns eastward. This scene is so sad, and you will see it tomorrow. I wrote a letter to ask for peace, why did I lose my country?"

The purpose of Mo Qiang's trip was to hope to quell the war by sending hostages and asking for marriage without becoming a vassal state.

But the lyrics sung by Princess Yangping were full of provocation, as if they would have no choice but to die if they did not submit a letter of surrender and submit to Dayu.

After the first singing of the poem, the Mo Qiang generals became angry. They stood up, drew their scimitars, and wanted to kill the enemy princess who had insulted them.

The dancing was in disorder and the singing was non-stop. The emperor on the dragon throne casually drew his bow and arrow, and the two generals who stood up were shot dead on the spot.

It was common for blood to splatter in the palace in Dayu, but for the King of Qiang, it was a great humiliation.

He was certain that the emperor dared to kill his soldiers, but would not dare to kill him who came to negotiate peace.

Therefore, the Qiang King drew out his scimitar with murderous intent. He lost two generals, and Dayu must kill a princess.

Emperor Xiaowen threw his sword to his daughter casually, but Shen Guiwu's boot kicked the bottom of the scabbard and the sword came out.

The princess still insisted on her dance steps. She stepped forward, twisted her waist, grasped the hilt of the sword with her bare hands, turned around, raised her hand and pointed the tip of the sword at the throat of the Qiang king.

Shen Guiwu's expression remained calm and her smile remained unchanged, as if all this was just part of her performance.

His life was in the hands of a young girl, and the King of Qiang felt a little flustered when faced with her fearless eyes, so he had to turn his gaze to Emperor Xiaowen.

"Is this your country's way of entertaining guests?"

Shen Guiwu asked on behalf of her father, "Are you referring to just now or now?"

The Qiang King lowered his head and looked at her, his eyes twitching with anger, "You shot and killed my ministers of Da Mo, and pointed your sword at my king of Mo Qiang?"

Shen Guiwu smiled contemptuously and stood up calmly. The tip of the sword swayed slightly due to her movement, cutting a gash in the old Qiang King's throat, and blood flowed down his neck into his clothes.

"The hyena that attacked his daughter was shot dead by her father. Shouldn't the foreign minister who disrespected his father be put to the sword's throat?"

In one sentence, Mo Qiang was directly defined as a vassal state. Since they drew their swords and provoked first, the deaths of the two generals were meaningless.

Emperor Xiaowen was waiting for the Qiang King's response. After a long silence, he still found it difficult to make up his mind.

During this period, Alie Ta stared blankly at everything without any reaction. He even hoped that his cruel father would die here.

Shen Guiwu smiled like a flower, holding the sword and taking a step forward, "Not to mention pointing at you, even if there is something wrong, I will exchange my life for the life of the enemy monarch, which is also worthwhile."

The tip of the sword pierced deeper into his wound, and the Qiang King quickly stepped back. He could see that this princess really dared to kill him.

Emperor Xiaowen laughed heartily at this scene, "King Qiang, this is Princess Yangping, who is my favorite."

King Qiang, who understood the hidden meaning behind his words, finally made a decision and gave her a half-bow. "I am honored to meet your Highness the Princess."

Listening to his words spoken with his back teeth gritted, Shen Guiwu looked at Emperor Xiaowen with pride, and he also smiled and raised his hand slightly.

After the sword was sheathed, Shen Guiwu casually said "stand up" and then ran to the dragon throne, acting coquettishly and begging for praise.

Emperor Xiaowen enjoyed the admiration in his daughter's eyes and habitually stroked her face with the back of his hand as if she were his beauty.

King Qiang looked at them, his eyes filled with hatred, and slowly sat back in his seat.
